Deleting the browser history help please.

On my home computer that only I use, I was recommended to automatically delete my browsing history when I finish a Firefox session. This is where any malicious web site tries to access my computer. I have as much as the box 'Settings for historic compensation' and have a few questions.
I will be definitely uncheck the box cookies because I don't want these deleted. What effect will have it on my computer and my future use if I uncheck and what follows: browsing history, download history, form and search, the connections active and hide?

Sorry to ask so many questions but I really need your help, please.

Thank you, Anthony

  • Delete the browsing history in IE8 problem - Windows XP.

    I tried to remove IE8 browsing history using tools/Internet Options.  I have Windows XP.  He ran for more than 2 hours before I canceled it.  I have not had this problem in the past.  Why does it takes so long and is there a problem with my IE?

    Try to close Internet Explorer, then:

    Go to start, control panel

    Double-click Internet Options.

    Delete the browsing history from here

    If it runs for a long period of time, try to restart your computer and do the steps above before you open Internet Explorer.

  • How can I delete the browsing history but keep bank account numbers etc.

    My financial institution recommends to delete my browsing history after that I have signed. I can do this without removing the bank account numbers etc. I don't understand the descriptions of cache, cookies, etc.

    I guess you want to keep your cookies but not your history. You can select what is removed when you close Firefox in Options > privacy > select "use the custom settings for history". Once you have finished, click on 'Settings' in front "Clear history of Firefox closing" and uncheck the box 'Cookies' and 'Site Préférences'.

  • How to delete the browsing history just by turning off the computer?

    Original title: on windows vista why do Internet sites I have vista does not delete when I turn off my computer

    The sites I visit does not delete when I I shut down my computer using Windows vista either on google or yahoo sites?

    Hi MistressCindy,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we are happy to help you.

    I understand from the description you want the navigation history to delete on shutdown.

    Could you answer a few questions to understand the question:

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?

    I suggest trying these methods in Internet Explorer and check.

    (a) open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button, and then click Internet Explorer.

    (b) click on the Tools button, then Internet Options.

    c) under the history of navigation in general tab make sure that Remove navigation to exit history is enabled.

    (d) click on the tab to remove, put check marks in the boxes for history, downloaded and click on delete.

    It will be useful. For any Windows questions do not hesitate to get back to us.

     

  • Deleting the browser history

    When you use IE, how can I get all of my browsing history deleted?  I know how to delete the history on the tab "Tools", (story/Explorer/general tools/internet/delete tabbed browsing) and I do it, but when I go back to my browser and click on the drop down arrow, it's still there.  Hundreds of sites I have visited.  Does it only on my account, not on other users of this computer, and I am the administrator.

    A nice man responded to this post and suggested that I have download ccleaner.  I checked the site for download, but you have to pay for it, and I have no income at this time.

    Someone at - it any other suggestions for me?

    What browser? If IE go to Tools / Internet options / general tab. Or the easiest way get ccleaner. Install and then start, close the browsers, go to the vacuum cleaner, then click on run cleaner.

  • Reset the browser? Help, please.

    Hi, my wife uses my chromebook to connect to facebook and malware consulted the browser and its account is now locked on facebook until it installs a malware Remover which of course I can't do. My question is how to reset or re - install the chrome browser, which seems to have been compromised. She can sign as a guest and connect okay, but obviously he has long breath whenever she do it, but suggests that it is not the chromebook itself that is at fault - thank you.

    It may be better to simply power wash the chromebook

    in the login page, hold down ctrl + alt + shift and press R

    This will reset the chromebook back to default settings, the question may reocurr if the malware has managed t cling to the google account used although this is unlikely

  • Deleted the drivers! Help, please!

    I had not used my old laptop Alienware M17x R4 for some time and there were a bunch of junk on it I didn't need and the computer is slow, and it could be a virus on it. So, I decided to do a cleaning of the computer one night later. I read a guide on how to do it and I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium with save or save the old unwanted files. When asked which driver to install Windows on, the guide was ambiguous and a mixture of fatigue and dyslexia led me to remove all the drives except the DATAPART (c :)) driver which has 29.8 GB of storage. I now have those 29.8 GB of storage and not the 1 TB driver that is on this computer. All graphics and video cards have been lost and I can't even connect to the WiFi on the PC.

    What I tried:

    Reinstall the driver updated the Dell Web site

    Restore the computer to factory settings (I can not, I do not have the storage)

    Is there anywhere I can download and install the drivers, I need or my computer is just screwed?

    I don't know how to solve this problem, I know it was a terrible mistake, but can someone please help

    1 you seem to have misspelled readers and/or drivers as long as it is not possible to be completely sure what happened & what is the current situation.  Check and correct your post so that people can help you better.

    2. If you have installed Windows 7 on a disk of 29 / GB in your computer then "partition" has probably stored files Dell Factory Image Restore [DFIR].  This would explain why, you can't run now that the easy, but your comment, I have no storage is meaningless to me.

    • You could have supported DFIR to a USB port, but not many people take this precaution - do you have?
    • You may have a Windows 7 reinstall drive provided by Dell with your computer - do you?
    • What did you use to reinstall Windows 7?

    3 I don't know if your computer has multiple hard drives in it, or if a single hard drive has been "compartmentalised" into separate sections so that each behaves as if it were a separate disk drive.  It is essential to know because you or another

    need to remove the installation of Windows 7 and then reinstall on a larger drive,

    or

    You must increase the size of the partition in the partition you installed Windows 7 on [to, say, 100GB].  Then you will be able to partition off the power then format the rest of the hard disk as a data reader to separate your own operating system data files [this is a very useful to have Setup].

    Instructions for making these two things are radically different.  Whatever it is, you will need a good amount of computer skills to perform the task, and you might be better to ask someone else to do it for you.  You will need to use a partitioning tool [the built-in tool is called disk management , but many people prefer third-party tools such as Easeus Partition Manager].  The work is actually pretty easy if you know what do everyone you know who did this just before time would be able to do so or stand over your shoulder and will guide you.

    4 on the hardware drivers - Dell has all the drivers you need.  Just go to their website and enter the 'Dell Service number' that you will find on a label somewhere on your computer and in your purchase documentation.  Reference Dell then you can download all the latest drivers for your computer [not only for your computer model but specifically for your computer].  Each update Dell will have a page of instructions, so we'll tell you how to install.  While you are there, find the Dell support Web page called Driver install so that the desktop computers and laptops because the sequence of pilot facilities is very important.

  • Top sites and the browser history

    Hi, I'm on a Macbook Pro 2011 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, with several people using my login information. My question is - I have a site on my Top Sites, but when I look in the browser history I don't see. This means that the browser history was deleted? And if it appears in the Top Sites does this mean it has been visited frequently or not necessarily? Thanks v. much.

    Not necessarily. It is possible to add a site to the Top Sites with the add a bookmark function (inadvertently).

  • How can I clear the browser history

    the browser history is cluttered with attempts to find mforation over several days. I want this clesr off.

    Hello

    There are two Add-ons you can use with Firefox Mobile to clear your history (Cleary and erase the historical Mobile).

    If you press the menu button on the device and select Add-ons, you can search for and install an add-on. Then click on Preferences in the menu and scroll to the bottom to see the button clear history.

    Here is an article with step by step and screenshots for tablets (the steps are the same for a mobile phone, except that the menu button that you use is the one on your phone).
